如果你是那种喜欢睡前拿本书来结束一天的人，英国的格莱斯顿图书馆可能是一个适合你的好地方。这是一个和其他图书馆类似但又有很大不同的图书馆——你也可以在那里睡觉。对于爱书之人来说，这里是个很棒的地方。你可以从15万本书中挑选书籍，然后把它们带到床上（阅读）！
在北威尔士的一个美丽小镇上，格莱斯顿图书馆是一个度过美好宁静周末的热门去处。它看起来就像你在电影里看到的那种古老图书馆，而且游客们说它也有那种（古老图书馆应有的）味道！图书馆在白天对游客开放。对于那些想要充分利用阅读时间的人来说，这里有26间卧室。这些卧室距离书籍（存放处）只有几米远，每晚的价格从145英镑起。起初，这些房间主要供神学家使用。如今，任何对阅读感兴趣的人都可以入住。
这个图书馆是威廉·格莱斯顿的想法。他希望其他人能阅读他大量的藏书，所以他把3万多本书从自己的家里搬到了附近城镇的一个图书馆里。那时，他已经80多岁了，没能活着看到他一直梦想的图书馆开放。
但凭借他的书籍和他留下的大量资金，这座建筑在1889年开放了。现在，这个图书馆欢迎学生、作家、科学家、神学家以及那些只是喜欢书籍的人。
